Dude! You're the second reviewer I've found who is not whining about 1.2lbs and 1" extra over the 14" as if it was a 6' 150lbs burden. I got the same exact spec on my Macbook. Happy to find others like me who don't have noodles for arms!
At first I thought it would be fine but I got this gorgeous all leather mailman’s messenger bag from Satchel & Page and gosh does it feel super heavy. The bag itself is heavy but this MacBook makes it feel even heavier so maybe I just need a good backpack 😕
I’ll never understand the “too big for travel” argument that gets tossed around on 16” laptops. Even on a long flight, if you consider take off/landing/eating/resting, how much actual time will you spend working on the laptop in your seat? An hour, maybe 2? And is that even work that is so life or death it needs done during a flight? Compare that to the days/weeks you will be able to use the machine while on your trip, taking advantage of the screen size, battery life, etc. Why limit yourself for the 98% of the time you need the laptop for a theoretical 2% that might just slightly less optimal?
I thought that, too, so I bought the 16". I was amazed by it at first, but then I got used to it. Recently, my work issued me a 14" MacBook Pro, so for the past month, I've been using both around the house. Honestly, I prefer the 14". I am almost always plugged into a monitor when I'm at a desk, and when I'm not at a desk (like right now), I really like the smaller size. I do notice the difference quite a bit, especially going from meetings to my desk, desk to my home, being able to use a smaller bag, etc. Also, the 14" is not particularly small, and you can always just make up for it by being a bit closer to the screen. I can also sidecar an iPad or something like that. Battery life is so ridiculously good on these things that even if the 16" is better, I don't really feel the difference. There's always Low Power Mode if you need to conserve power. Also, you can use a less beefy charger to charge the 14", so that's another plus. I'm selling my 16" and put in an order for a 14".
@@mbvglider Yeah, totally agree on that one. I had an M1 air, and while it's a great little machine, I always thought that it's a little too small, so wanted to upgrade to a 16" MBP. But I also have a windows work laptop, which is a 15.6 Dell machine, and it's always been super annoying to carry around, it's huge and heavy. I thought that the MBP will somehow be more managable, but after checking it out in a store, it turns out it's actually even bulkier, lol. So I went with a 14" and really happy with my decision. It's so nice in almost any situation - to carry it around, to work outside, or on your couch. Don't even wanna touch my windows laptop now.

4TB is more then enough, the smart thing to do would be instead of spending 1000-1400E for 4 more TB, to buy up to 3 external 4tb drives, allowing you to take more backups and clones of the backups until you reach your home where you can dump it all within your NAS
It's funny, I think this video shows that the larger and heavier Macbook Pro is best for people doing the most travel. The screen size is so important and the battery life is incredible. I went with the 14" M1Max MBP because it's essentially my desktop computer that is often times plugged in to my 32" monitor for video work. Great video, Teppo!
I am looking to get one! I am between 16'' M1 Pro or go for the 14'' M1 Max ... do you think for music production in logic x and design tools like adobe illustrator and photoshop the pro is enough? Or the MAX will benefit? I worry about overheat and less battery. Thanks!

I bought a 16" MacBook Pro late last year, but my work issued me a 14" MBP (w/ full CPU + binned GPU), so for the past month or so, I've been using both, and I honestly like the 14" much more. It just feels friendlier and easier to use. The 16" stays on my desk for "serious" work, and the 14" gets thrown into bags and used seriously as well as casually. And since the 16" rarely leaves my desk, it ends up being a glorified desktop, since I leave it docked into a monitor and TB hub, I don't even use its keyboard, speakers, webcam, and trackpad, whereas the 14" actually gets used as a laptop. It's convinced me to sell my 16" MBP and buy a 14" instead for myself, a 24-core M1 Max, since it seems like 32-core M1 Max is only worth it in the 16" form factor.
14” max might seem having overheating issues. And one thing is worse battery life. But what comes to screen size, usually the bigger ones are required just when traveling, at home you use external monitor. So quite funny that ”mobile users” don’t like the extra screen estate.

I went back and worth between the 14" and 16". My heart wanted the 16" but I was forced to go with the 14". The 16" is too big. It doesn't even fit in my Shimoda Backpack and it is much heavier than the 14". Switched to mirrorless to save some weight. Didn't want to gain that weight back again. 14" is a good trade off.
@@TeppoHaapoja am a student who needed lots of typing ,will this 16inch be comfortable?? And does 2.1 feel so heavy in backpack?? Most of the workstation laptop weighs 1.9 ish ,am a tall guy so 14 or 15 which will be comfortable??
I wish apple would make a 16 inch regular M1 version…all I want is a huge laptop with big speakers, but I don’t need the overkill power of their high end chips :/
I love my M1 pro 16 inch MBP! It's big. But exactly what I wanted. Can't stand anything smaller than 16 inche screens. Lol. So this really ended up being the perfect laptop. I have a 15.6 inch Linus/windows laptop. But I barely used it. Lol. However, I don't travel by plane. So in car it's been fine. I chose the 1TB 16GB base. Due to the fact 2800 dollars is a lot. But I needed it asap. Amazon said 4 days Apple said 4 months. Lol. It works great for editing gaming videos for my side job, and works great for vlogs.
I am looking to get one! I was between your 16 M1 Pro or go for the MAX in 14'' ... do you think for music production in logic x and design tools like adobe illustrator and photoshop the pro is enough? Or the MAX will benefit? Thanks!
I would love to see a video with your workflow and screen setup when your filming then editing on the road!! I am new to Mac and could really benefit from a tutorial with Mac basic workflow!
This video came up when I looked up this laptop. I'm a new fan! You seem like a genuinely nice person and this video helped me in my research for a new laptop.
Thank you for this upload. Speaking for myself, I can't really understand the urge to use large laptops like these (I own the same model) on foldable aircraft tables, including overseas flights. A book, or a movie or two from the inflight entertainment system would be preferable alternatives for me.
I'm wanting a new Mac and have been going back and forth between a maxed out Air-M2, a 14" M1-max, or a 16" M1-max. I'm OK with 2Tb hard disk and I could live with 24Gb of RAM. The Air-M2 is nice and small and light, but seems to heat up which would be a drag if I'm using it on my lap. I love the idea of a bigger and better 16" screen, but I did worry about the weight and what it would be like if/when I'm using it on my lap. The 14" Mac would be a nice compromise.weight-wise. Knowing that the 16" doesn't often heat up much has made me lean more towards it. Finally, the extra ports on the 14" and 16" Macs make me lean towards them. I still have an old 2014 11" macbook air that I could use if I really need something light for a while. When will I ever come to a final decision!?
Haha, Marnix, I really feel for you! I'm in the same boat. Maxed out Air M2 or M1 Pro 14 vs 16 inch. I just got back from comparing the speakers on each of them. The Air M2 sound like a tin compared to the Pros (just like my MB Air 2013). I was blown away by the 16 inch speakers, even better than the 14 inch. I'm big on sound, so the 16 inch wins. The M2 Air heats up badly, which will destroy its battery in the following years + throttle the chips too often + make your lap really sweat. I also noticed the 14 inch warming up during a single 15 minute YT video, when the 16 inch was still cold to the touch playing five 4k videos in the background, a big plus! I'd rather have a heavier cold laptop on my lap than a machine sliding off my lap because of the amount of sweat. I hope I'll be able to decide soon too, want mijn oude Air wil dringend met pensioen! :D Good luck!
Hey Teppo! nice content!, it was a really nice experience to watch your videos, i hope one day i could do videos like yours! Thanks for such a great video!
Thanks a lot Teppo, so useful as I'm torn between 16"and 14" and after watching this video I'm getting closer and closer to the 16". Fun fact, I've watched this video in 4K on my Macbook Pro 2018 and the fan is going wild as well as the temperature. Time to change ahahah!
@@oceanelucas6469 After my last comment, I've waited 7 months and, instead of a laptop, I decided to go big with a Mac Studio M2 Max 64gb Ram and 12 cores. I'm editing faster than ever before, a true beast.
Wow I thought this was matti when I clicked the video and still didn’t even realize it was his brother until he was at the airport 😂. Glad I clicked on it though cool vlog 👍🏻.
Great video! I ordered one and I’m patiently awaiting it to arrive! Gonna start crushing my fishing videos. Thanks Teppo this was a concern that I had.
Hey awesome editing but one thing, have you actually ever tried the 14‘‘? I dont think so, so you cannot really make a comparison. Whats good for you may not work for others. For me i got the 16 but want the 14 lol
Hey, I recently ordered a MacBook Pro and after this video I’m so unsure about the configuration. I’m studying in IT but am a Photographer at heart, so I bought the 16 inch for the battery and cooling with 32gb and 1tb, thinking, that I could work with my photography’s and little videos from SSD’s or changing between cloud and normal storage. The deliver time is so far away that it would interfere with my move to another country to study further, if I changed the Order. Was my thinking bad? Did I make a Mistake?
Love my speced out M1 Max 16". Seems light compared to the 17" windows laptops I've had. I carry an 11" ipad pro M1 for the times I need a small screen.
I have to remember this. my wife's 14 inch air is so light compared to my 16 inch mbp but I forget how much heavier and shittier my windows laptops used to be
Does it fit in hotel room safes? Sometimes when I travel in Southeast Asia, the hotel room safe can be tiny. I don’t think I would be comfortable leaving equipment this expensive just in a bag in the room, would hate for it to disappear. The 14” is more likely to fit in most safes. It’s a fab laptop though.
most places I’ve traveled to normally don’t fit the 16” but also keep in mind that hotel staff have access to the safe as well so I wouldn’t trust it. I usually leave mine in my Away suitcase (combination) locked when I head out for the day.
@@tatianabritton6258 I’ve been to about and 40 countries and stayed in a few hotels on the way, but not with the MBP 16” obviously, but based on my recollection of safety box sizes I estimated that the size might be a challenge in most cases. Thanks for confirming my suspicion. Yes hotel staff can of course access the safe, usually not all though. In retrospect I have never had anything disappeared from a hotel safe, come to think of not from rooms I stayed in either even if left out, just lucky I guess. A sturdy locked bag is certainly an option too, thx for the tip. Btw I ended up getting the 14” MBP, at home/office it is docked to 2x32” 4k screens, so the MacBook’s own screen is not so relevant then. On the road I extend the screen to an iPad that always travels with me anyway, plus for a 3rd screen workstation style setup to a very thin and light hires 13” external screen. Of course this is only something I rig up in the room, not so convenient to setup on the road or in a café 😀
Hi Teppo. Just watched your other M1Max Video where you were extolling the virtues of the 8tb version! Did you return it? How come? I’ve just ordered an almost maxed out one with 4tb. Now considering upgrading to the 8tb. All these dongles seem very annoying.
Hey Teppo. Never mind. I’m not trying to be a smart arse lol Money right! The upgrades on this things are silly money. Still, I ended up changing my 4TB to 8TB. Knowing myself, I just know I would never regret paying more now for this. Anyway, keep on keeping on :-)
So was the sandwich good? I bought the 14inch macbook pro, it's just the right size to travel and bring to lectures. When I am home I can hook it to my 27 inch screen.
Yeah, it’s too big. For me. Do have the intel one, as soon as the M2 MacBook 13 or m2 MacBook Air is out i will go for that. For my Edition work it’s going to be good enough and also future proof and it’s just easier to carry with me. Had once the 16“ and it’s really not the coolest for travel. But I also did bring my iPad Pro 12,9“ so it was sort of overkill 😂😂
My camera bag weighs 41 kilos a laptop weighing more really doesn’t make a difference. Screen real estate and battery life? That makes a huge difference.
You're the only person I've seen on this platform who actually got decent storage - everyone else has gone for the 1TB or maybe 2TB option... and I honestly have no idea how they operate with so little storage!?
I'm late to the party, BUT... ...I paid around £3,500 in 2018 for a 15 inch MacBook Pro maxed out with i9, 32gb RAM, Radeon 560x 4gb, and opted for the 1tb SSD. Easily one of the worst buying decisions ever made. The thermal throttling meant that NO pro-work could be done efficiently. Tap. Wait. Tap again. Wait. Scrub through video. Wait. Beach ball. Wait some more. You get the point. Last week I finally had enough, it almost went through the window in rage at how absolutely incompetent this thing is. I don't normally opt for AppleCare but I did on this one, and thankfully so. It needed; - New Battery - New Keyboard - New Logic Board AND, a screen replacement which I had to fight for after making the argument that the screen damage caused by oils on the keyboard keys was MY FAULT rather than Jonny Ive making the laptop so thin that when the screen's closed it touches the keyboard, transferring the oils accordingly. BAD, bad design. Oh, and all of this was done after it was sent to Apple for the second time, having failed to successfully diagnose and replace the parts required the first time. I know the M2 Pro's are likely just around the corner. I was so impressed by the M1 Pro after the announcement that I felt cheated with my 2018 purchased. I waited it out to see if any M1 "gate" issues became apparent, and maybe I'd go for an M2 Pro. However, the "cost of living" crisis that we're going through shows a trajectory of price increases across the board. So, rather than waiting a couple or so months for the M2, a few things occurred to me... 1 - The new MacBook Air has a 20% premium on top. No longer can you get a current model Air for less than $1k. That's a sure sign that the next gen models of other MacBooks will likely see a price jump. 2 - The value of older MacBooks will likely remain stable or possibly even see a small increase, similar to what we saw with second hand vehicle valuations in recent times. 3 - Apple products are usually discounted towards the end of that cycle, indicating a new model is soon to be announced. There's no way I could drop another £3,500 out of my account, BUT, I need a machine that's part of the Apple ecosystem, and accepting that I'd have to compromise somewhere I began searching. To my surprise, here's what I found... MacBook Pro 2021, 16 inch, M1 Pro with 16gb RAM for just under £2,200. After watching countless YT videos to convince me that I NEEDED 32gb, I found that there wasn't much out there and instead, the 16gb attracted quite the praise. The main focus being that the SSD memory swaps at up to 200gb/s combined with the M1 Pro chip put out surprisingly positive performance levels. So, here I am, typing on said laptop. I have pushed this laptop with the applications I use regularly. I cannot get this thing to slow down! I feel like I'm living in the future. No longer is my focus on how sh*t the laptop is, but instead I'm loving the experience and my productivity has gone up. Oh, and I can finish earlier, too, meaning more time with family. I had my reservations but for £2,200, whilst expensive, provides incredible value for money when you consider what a powerhouse this thing is. That amount of money has given me not just the kind of performance that I (naively) expected from the maxed out 2018 model, but way, WAY beyond and more. When Apple announced the 2015 MacBook 12, it stunned many with its sleek new design. Little did we know that this was the start of many years of Apple ownership hell. Form, did indeed outshine performance. Today, though, I feel like Apple is back on the right path. It's driven competitors to push forward faster and compete more with pricing, all of which is good for us as consumers.
Weight doesn’t matter to me but matters to the airlines as they have weight limits for carry-on…you also need the fact that camera weights something too which again isn’t a problem for me but it is for the airline.
I currently edit on my iPad Pro 11 which does me good but if I ever can afford MacBook this is what I would go for. I just need to build my confidence to speak to camera 😂😂
I was debating between the 16 inch M1 Max with 32gb of RAM or a 14 inch M2 Pro with 16gb ram. I am not currently doing any video editing but plan to eventually get back into it. What do you recommend? Would the M1 Max be overkill for my needs?
Ever since my 2012 15inch MacBook Pro broke down I've been working on a Mac mini, which doesn't allow me to work outside my home let alone change locations in different rooms in my house. And are you telling me people complain that the 16inch M1 MacBook pro is too big to carry it around? Trust me, it is way more portable than a Mac Mini. LOL
Do you think M1 Pro it's ok for music production Logic Pro x and design like adobe illustrator and photoshop? Or should I go for the MAX? I understand MAX is just for video rendering or would it help with other stuff too? Thanks!
M1 Pro is more than enough for music production and video/photo. More complex workloads would just come down to how much RAM you neeeded. If you regularly edit in resolutions higher than 4K, or vr dev, etc etc M1 Max. tbh M1 and M1 Pro is fine for most ppl. 😀
Awesome video bro keep up the excellent work, great editing also, this video was awesome great way to story tell by showing and not telling & the editing was clean too that’s a aweosme MacBook I know i made that mistake when I got my MacBook should of least got 2TB and I became cheap and got 512GB lol but next time won’t happen haha but great video and Aweosme vlog God Bless

Hi, I needed you're insight on this issue. I just ordered my Macbook "16 M1 MaX 64 GB Unified Memory with 2TB SSD. I'm not a filmmaker but a Computer Science student. Do you think that 2TB SDD is enough for me given the fact that Apple had issues with SDD where a 256GB SDD had a lifespan of about a year ( this issue has been widely reported since the introduction of M1 series)
With 64GB of ram, I don't think you can make your M1 MAX use memory swap(using ssd as additional ram, which tends to burn up the total TBW or life of the non replaceable ssd) unless you perform a lot of unrealistic test. That 64GB of ram is future proofing your ssd at minimum XD
o0o0owww you got me there with the ( not having SSD's hanging on the side of your laptop .... daymmm... i think 4TB is more than enough tbh 😅 I was looking at getting the 2TB version
I have the same one. However, I’m not sure if it is me and my size, but with economy flights on US carriers, it is nearly impossible to put the 16 inch model on the tray table. It would need to be Comfort Plus or First class ticket to have enough space to properly fit.

I went back and worth between the 14" and 16". My heart wanted the 16" but I was forced to go with the 14". The 16" is too big. It doesn't even fit in my Shimoda Backpack and it is much heavier than the 14". Switched to mirrorless to save some weight. Didn't want to gain that weight back again. 14" is a good trade off.
Nice! Gotta find what works for you
@@TeppoHaapoja am a student who needed lots of typing ,will this 16inch be comfortable?? And does 2.1 feel so heavy in backpack?? Most of the workstation laptop weighs 1.9 ish ,am a tall guy so 14 or 15 which will be comfortable??
@@TeppoHaapoja how is the ms office experience in it?? Paid version ,will it be providing same windows like experience??
@@akshay5569 take the MacBook Pro 14 the base model
Federico! Which Shimoda do you have? I have the X30 and was wondering if the 16" fit inside...
16" notebooks used to be a lot bigger and a lot heavier so the 2021 16" MBP? No problem.
1. does the 16" fit a hotel safe?
2. how is the 16" in your lap?
3. does it fit into most bags and office style shoulder bags?
I wish apple would make a 16 inch regular M1 version…all I want is a huge laptop with big speakers, but I don’t need the overkill power of their high end chips :/
Agreed. 16” air would be perfect
15inch air coming in 2 months!
What kind of bag and or case do you use when traveling with you MacBook Pro 16 ?
Some people complain 16 inch Mac is heavy us with gaming laptops 🤦🏻🤦🏻 but you man you didn't complain about weight 👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome, I hope people would watch. I only advertise services & products that I use and help me
I went 4TB with mine as well. I had 512GB on my 2016 MBP and depended on exterrnal SSD/HDs. It has been such a relief not carrying one around haha
So many miserable, whining people are complaining about the size and weight of the 16”. Happy to see an unbiased and legit opinion.
😂😂😂
The 16" MacBook Pro is the one to go with. It's like a Lamborghini, big, fast, over the top but true lux. True luxury is never efficient or practical.
Agreed!
I love my M1 pro 16 inch MBP! It's big. But exactly what I wanted. Can't stand anything smaller than 16 inche screens. Lol. So this really ended up being the perfect laptop. I have a 15.6 inch Linus/windows laptop. But I barely used it. Lol. However, I don't travel by plane. So in car it's been fine.
I chose the 1TB 16GB base. Due to the fact 2800 dollars is a lot. But I needed it asap. Amazon said 4 days Apple said 4 months. Lol. It works great for editing gaming videos for my side job, and works great for vlogs.
I feel ya!
I am looking to get one! I was between your 16 M1 Pro or go for the MAX in 14'' ... do you think for music production in logic x and design tools like adobe illustrator and photoshop the pro is enough? Or the MAX will benefit? Thanks!

I would love to see a video with your workflow and screen setup when your filming then editing on the road!! I am new to Mac and could really benefit from a tutorial with Mac basic workflow!
This video came up when I looked up this laptop. I'm a new fan! You seem like a genuinely nice person and this video helped me in my research for a new laptop.
Glad u enjoyed it!
I got the basic M1 pro 16”. I got very base one with only 512 gbs and 16gb ram. I got a few external solid state drives which are fast as hell.
Nice!
Just sold my 14 to go to the 16 - like the larger real estate more than the portability.
Thank you for this upload. Speaking for myself, I can't really understand the urge to use large laptops like these (I own the same model) on foldable aircraft tables, including overseas flights. A book, or a movie or two from the inflight entertainment system would be preferable alternatives for me.
you don't offload completed projects? why?
I'm wanting a new Mac and have been going back and forth between a maxed out Air-M2, a 14" M1-max, or a 16" M1-max. I'm OK with 2Tb hard disk and I could live with 24Gb of RAM. The Air-M2 is nice and small and light, but seems to heat up which would be a drag if I'm using it on my lap. I love the idea of a bigger and better 16" screen, but I did worry about the weight and what it would be like if/when I'm using it on my lap. The 14" Mac would be a nice compromise.weight-wise. Knowing that the 16" doesn't often heat up much has made me lean more towards it. Finally, the extra ports on the 14" and 16" Macs make me lean towards them. I still have an old 2014 11" macbook air that I could use if I really need something light for a while. When will I ever come to a final decision!?
Haha, Marnix, I really feel for you! I'm in the same boat. Maxed out Air M2 or M1 Pro 14 vs 16 inch. I just got back from comparing the speakers on each of them. The Air M2 sound like a tin compared to the Pros (just like my MB Air 2013). I was blown away by the 16 inch speakers, even better than the 14 inch. I'm big on sound, so the 16 inch wins. The M2 Air heats up badly, which will destroy its battery in the following years + throttle the chips too often + make your lap really sweat. I also noticed the 14 inch warming up during a single 15 minute YT video, when the 16 inch was still cold to the touch playing five 4k videos in the background, a big plus! I'd rather have a heavier cold laptop on my lap than a machine sliding off my lap because of the amount of sweat. I hope I'll be able to decide soon too, want mijn oude Air wil dringend met pensioen! :D Good luck!
Why would you even get a 16 inch then???
Hey Teppo! nice content!, it was a really nice experience to watch your videos, i hope one day i could do videos like yours! Thanks for such a great video!
Hi
Thank you for your sharing!
May I know what kind of backpack are you use with MBP 16?
Hey Teppo! Thanks for this video! Did you also get fully upgraded GPU to 32 cores or did you stick with 24c?
Upgraded for sure!
Thanks a lot Teppo, so useful as I'm torn between 16"and 14" and after watching this video I'm getting closer and closer to the 16". Fun fact, I've watched this video in 4K on my Macbook Pro 2018 and the fan is going wild as well as the temperature. Time to change ahahah!
What did you finally choose ?
@@oceanelucas6469 After my last comment, I've waited 7 months and, instead of a laptop, I decided to go big with a Mac Studio M2 Max 64gb Ram and 12 cores. I'm editing faster than ever before, a true beast.
Definitely picking that one up over the M2 pro
That's the life mate, i use a macbook pro M1 13 inch and loving so far, keep up the great vlogs
Nice!
I love my Mac Mini M1 🤩🤩 awesome video as always bro (inspiring)
🙌🙌🙌
Wow I thought this was matti when I clicked the video and still didn’t even realize it was his brother until he was at the airport 😂. Glad I clicked on it though cool vlog 👍🏻.
Haha hilarious, we aint that similar :D
Been planning to update my Mac. Thanks for the insightful video!
Highly recommend it!
Teppo budddy! Got any recommendations for a good travel bag that fits a 16inch Macbook and can hold a tripod?
Great video! I ordered one and I’m patiently awaiting it to arrive! Gonna start crushing my fishing videos. Thanks Teppo this was a concern that I had.
Thats awesome!!!
Thank you for such a great video . I have the m1 pro 16 , love it 😍
Nice! Enjoy!
Hey awesome editing but one thing,
have you actually ever tried the 14‘‘? I dont think so, so you cannot really make a comparison. Whats good for you may not work for others.
For me i got the 16 but want the 14 lol
Is matti your brother? U look identical. I haven’t seen the video but that was my first impression
He sure is!
Love your commentary and video work. 👍👍

@@TeppoHaapoja your welcome
Hey, I recently ordered a MacBook Pro and after this video I’m so unsure about the configuration.
I’m studying in IT but am a Photographer at heart, so I bought the 16 inch for the battery and cooling with 32gb and 1tb, thinking, that I could work with my photography’s and little videos from SSD’s or changing between cloud and normal storage. The deliver time is so far away that it would interfere with my move to another country to study further, if I changed the Order. Was my thinking bad? Did I make a Mistake?
Welcome to Saudi Arabia.. come to Riyadh season i’m glad to see you here
Maybe one day Ill get to come!
Does the sharp edge of the keyboard make typing uncomfortable? Thanks!
That's nice to know about MAC 16,Thank you so much for sharing all details of it,maybe coming future I'll go for it 😀,❤️🤗
🙌🙌🙌
@@TeppoHaapoja 🤗🙂❤️
What do you think about the new Mac Studio? Would you get it eventually? Or do you prefer a mobile setup like you have it?
Im too mobile, but for someone who edits at home alot its awesome
Love my speced out M1 Max 16". Seems light compared to the 17" windows laptops I've had. I carry an 11" ipad pro M1 for the times I need a small screen.
I have to remember this. my wife's 14 inch air is so light compared to my 16 inch mbp but I forget how much heavier and shittier my windows laptops used to be
How much can one TB hold? What do the different TBs hold? How many pictures for one?
lots of people said that the space grey macbook can get a lot of fingerprints. Has that been any issue for you at all?
I have the same model. it's certainly cumbersome for travel but as my main computer on my desk, everything else feels like a toy
Actual video start at 3:35 please please get to the point ASAP and cut the BS. 🙏🏼
I know my question is unrelated to the video , but I how do I activate airplane mode on macbook M1 ?
There is a new case for M1 Max. Supcase M1 Max clear case on Amazon. I bought it and it fits. All round secure for M1 Max.
Thanks for the tip!
Does it fit in hotel room safes? Sometimes when I travel in Southeast Asia, the hotel room safe can be tiny. I don’t think I would be comfortable leaving equipment this expensive just in a bag in the room, would hate for it to disappear. The 14” is more likely to fit in most safes. It’s a fab laptop though.
most places I’ve traveled to normally don’t fit the 16” but also keep in mind that hotel staff have access to the safe as well so I wouldn’t trust it. I usually leave mine in my Away suitcase (combination) locked when I head out for the day.
@@tatianabritton6258 I’ve been to about and 40 countries and stayed in a few hotels on the way, but not with the MBP 16” obviously, but based on my recollection of safety box sizes I estimated that the size might be a challenge in most cases. Thanks for confirming my suspicion. Yes hotel staff can of course access the safe, usually not all though. In retrospect I have never had anything disappeared from a hotel safe, come to think of not from rooms I stayed in either even if left out, just lucky I guess. A sturdy locked bag is certainly an option too, thx for the tip.
Btw I ended up getting the 14” MBP, at home/office it is docked to 2x32” 4k screens, so the MacBook’s own screen is not so relevant then. On the road I extend the screen to an iPad that always travels with me anyway, plus for a 3rd screen workstation style setup to a very thin and light hires 13” external screen. Of course this is only something I rig up in the room, not so convenient to setup on the road or in a café 😀
Great video, guess I’ll go with 8 tb very informative.
Your welcome!!!
16' is better, when I'm traveling that is when I need the bigger screen and the bigger battery, with the fast charger
Thought we couldn’t travel with MacBooks ? Have a 14” m1 so I guess I’m good to use ?
3:42 WOW only 4 bytes of internal storage?!?!
Hi Teppo. Just watched your other M1Max Video where you were extolling the virtues of the 8tb version! Did you return it? How come? I’ve just ordered an almost maxed out one with 4tb. Now considering upgrading to the 8tb. All these dongles seem very annoying.
That was on loan from my brother :)
Hey Teppo. Never mind. I’m not trying to be a smart arse lol Money right! The upgrades on this things are silly money. Still, I ended up changing my 4TB to 8TB. Knowing myself, I just know I would never regret paying more now for this. Anyway, keep on keeping on :-)
I love my 16’ MB Pro with M1 Max but sometimes it’s way to heavy for traveling 😅
Haha really? I dont mind.
So was the sandwich good?
I bought the 14inch macbook pro, it's just the right size to travel and bring to lectures. When I am home I can hook it to my 27 inch screen.
Haha dish ugly as ever, sandwich delicious
Yeah, it’s too big. For me. Do have the intel one, as soon as the M2 MacBook 13 or m2 MacBook Air is out i will go for that.
For my Edition work it’s going to be good enough and also future proof and it’s just easier to carry with me. Had once the 16“ and it’s really not the coolest for travel. But I also did bring my iPad Pro 12,9“ so it was sort of overkill 😂😂
Gotta use what works for you!
Are you weak?
Where did you get your beanie???????😮
Brand called Makia
My camera bag weighs 41 kilos a laptop weighing more really doesn’t make a difference. Screen real estate and battery life? That makes a huge difference.
Just out of curiosity what apple case to you use or do you just put the MacBook Pro max straight in the backpack?
Straight into the backpack
Looks like it is working out great for you.
Im loving it for sure!
Safe travels!
Thanks Charlie!
You're the only person I've seen on this platform who actually got decent storage - everyone else has gone for the 1TB or maybe 2TB option... and I honestly have no idea how they operate with so little storage!?
i velcro sticky a portable fast SSD drive on the back of the macbook plugged into the usb-c for cheaper storage
I'm late to the party, BUT...
...I paid around £3,500 in 2018 for a 15 inch MacBook Pro maxed out with i9, 32gb RAM, Radeon 560x 4gb, and opted for the 1tb SSD. Easily one of the worst buying decisions ever made. The thermal throttling meant that NO pro-work could be done efficiently. Tap. Wait. Tap again. Wait. Scrub through video. Wait. Beach ball. Wait some more. You get the point.
Last week I finally had enough, it almost went through the window in rage at how absolutely incompetent this thing is. I don't normally opt for AppleCare but I did on this one, and thankfully so. It needed;
- New Battery
- New Keyboard
- New Logic Board
AND, a screen replacement which I had to fight for after making the argument that the screen damage caused by oils on the keyboard keys was MY FAULT rather than Jonny Ive making the laptop so thin that when the screen's closed it touches the keyboard, transferring the oils accordingly. BAD, bad design. Oh, and all of this was done after it was sent to Apple for the second time, having failed to successfully diagnose and replace the parts required the first time.
I know the M2 Pro's are likely just around the corner. I was so impressed by the M1 Pro after the announcement that I felt cheated with my 2018 purchased. I waited it out to see if any M1 "gate" issues became apparent, and maybe I'd go for an M2 Pro.
However, the "cost of living" crisis that we're going through shows a trajectory of price increases across the board. So, rather than waiting a couple or so months for the M2, a few things occurred to me...
1 - The new MacBook Air has a 20% premium on top. No longer can you get a current model Air for less than $1k. That's a sure sign that the next gen models of other MacBooks will likely see a price jump.
2 - The value of older MacBooks will likely remain stable or possibly even see a small increase, similar to what we saw with second hand vehicle valuations in recent times.
3 - Apple products are usually discounted towards the end of that cycle, indicating a new model is soon to be announced.
There's no way I could drop another £3,500 out of my account, BUT, I need a machine that's part of the Apple ecosystem, and accepting that I'd have to compromise somewhere I began searching. To my surprise, here's what I found...
MacBook Pro 2021, 16 inch, M1 Pro with 16gb RAM for just under £2,200. After watching countless YT videos to convince me that I NEEDED 32gb, I found that there wasn't much out there and instead, the 16gb attracted quite the praise. The main focus being that the SSD memory swaps at up to 200gb/s combined with the M1 Pro chip put out surprisingly positive performance levels.
So, here I am, typing on said laptop. I have pushed this laptop with the applications I use regularly. I cannot get this thing to slow down! I feel like I'm living in the future. No longer is my focus on how sh*t the laptop is, but instead I'm loving the experience and my productivity has gone up. Oh, and I can finish earlier, too, meaning more time with family.
I had my reservations but for £2,200, whilst expensive, provides incredible value for money when you consider what a powerhouse this thing is. That amount of money has given me not just the kind of performance that I (naively) expected from the maxed out 2018 model, but way, WAY beyond and more.
When Apple announced the 2015 MacBook 12, it stunned many with its sleek new design. Little did we know that this was the start of many years of Apple ownership hell. Form, did indeed outshine performance. Today, though, I feel like Apple is back on the right path. It's driven competitors to push forward faster and compete more with pricing, all of which is good for us as consumers.
Holy shit when does the actual video start My Gawd
Weight doesn’t matter to me but matters to the airlines as they have weight limits for carry-on…you also need the fact that camera weights something too which again isn’t a problem for me but it is for the airline.
Very true! I find airlines are more lenient with photographers
i did the same setup and think about the storage decision just like you. wish i went with 8tb
Haha i feel your pain!
4 Bytes of internal storage? BEAST.

Ohhhh yeah!!!
I currently edit on my iPad Pro 11 which does me good but if I ever can afford MacBook this is what I would go for. I just need to build my confidence to speak to camera 😂😂
Just keep practicing!
I was debating between the 16 inch M1 Max with 32gb of RAM or a 14 inch M2 Pro with 16gb ram. I am not currently doing any video editing but plan to eventually get back into it. What do you recommend? Would the M1 Max be overkill for my needs?
I recomendable to Invest in something you will need because it’s not cheap.
@@ToyJunkieTV I got the M1 Max on a deep discount so it’s only a few hundred more than the 14” m2.
Hey !

4 what of storage?
Ever since my 2012 15inch MacBook Pro broke down I've been working on a Mac mini, which doesn't allow me to work outside my home let alone change locations in different rooms in my house. And are you telling me people complain that the 16inch M1 MacBook pro is too big to carry it around? Trust me, it is way more portable than a Mac Mini. LOL
Do you think M1 Pro it's ok for music production Logic Pro x and design like adobe illustrator and photoshop? Or should I go for the MAX? I understand MAX is just for video rendering or would it help with other stuff too? Thanks!
M1 Pro is more than enough for music production and video/photo. More complex workloads would just come down to how much RAM you neeeded. If you regularly edit in resolutions higher than 4K, or vr dev, etc etc M1 Max. tbh M1 and M1 Pro is fine for most ppl. 😀
Even the normal M1 will do the trick . These models are total overkill for 99.9999% of the users
Macbook Ultra will have a touch screen for the first time! One better wait for it! 😎

Hi, I needed you're insight on this issue. I just ordered my Macbook "16 M1 MaX 64 GB Unified Memory with 2TB SSD. I'm not a filmmaker but a Computer Science student. Do you think that 2TB SDD is enough for me given the fact that Apple had issues with SDD where a 256GB SDD had a lifespan of about a year ( this issue has been widely reported since the introduction of M1 series)
Im sure 2TB will be enough
@@TeppoHaapoja That sounds promising. Thank you !
With 64GB of ram, I don't think you can make your M1 MAX use memory swap(using ssd as additional ram, which tends to burn up the total TBW or life of the non replaceable ssd) unless you perform a lot of unrealistic test. That 64GB of ram is future proofing your ssd at minimum XD
@@renardsmith haha thank you for your insight !!
There's a ~1.4k€ difference between 4TB and 8TB versions. If it's a cheapness, then it's a reasonable cheapness :D

I have the same one. However, I’m not sure if it is me and my size, but with economy flights on US carriers, it is nearly impossible to put the 16 inch model on the tray table. It would need to be Comfort Plus or First class ticket to have enough space to properly fit.
Ouch!
